On November 12, 1965, the day Americans Bob and Bill Summers took the piston-powered, wheel-driven land speed record from Englishman Donald Campbell's Bluebird. Bob drove the duo's Goldenrod to a two-way average of 409.277 mph in the mile (and 409.685 in the kilometer) for an FIA record that still stands. Sure, Al Teague ran faster than that over a decade ago for his FIA and SCTA records (409.986 mph), but that was with a supercharged Hemi. Likewise, the Burklands' 417.020 we reported in March was also blown. The Summers Brothers did it naturally aspirated, albeit with four Chrysler Hemis.The day after the record, the Goldenrod made another pass, that one at 425 mph, but for reasons unknown the brothers did not make a return run so it didn't count for the record. That was the last known pass for the Goldenrod.
